Pawprints on my Heart™ Furbaby Necklace
pet loss memorial necklace

The first days, and weeks after losing a beloved pet are a sea of confusing emotions, and the raw grief of new loss. Life is suddenly different than we have ever known it to be, someone important is missing, and we now need to somehow figure out how to live again - we need to learn a new way of breathing...

Kimberly created this necklace to help with the transitions and changes that loss brings into our life. There is no doubt that we will always hold our furbaby close and dear in our heart, but our life will continue - day by day, as we learn to create something new and nurturing for ourselves.

Grief changes us. It shows us parts if ourselves and others that we may not have seen before. It opens our eyes to humanity - creates an empathy that may not have been there before. It can inspire us to move forward and do better things with our lives.

about the gemstones

amethyst: a stone for transformation. Amethyst calms the mind, allowing the wearer to think more clearly, and be at peace with their emotions. It brings calm and clarity where there is anxiety or confusion. Amethyst will bring you in touch with your intuition, your emotions and values. Amethyst is the butterfly waiting, transformed and whole with her promise of healing...

moonstone: is the stone of balance and harmony. Moonstone allows us to fully feel and process our emotions. It will help to bring a balance between the mind, and the heart.

Each amethyst, moonstone and sterling silver necklace will include a swarovski crystal or rose quartz bead (for healing sadness) above the pawprints heart. This birthstone can be from either the month you brought your furbaby home, the month they were born or the month of their loss - whichever date speaks most strongly to you. Each order will be shipped with an organza jewelry gift bag and your choice of poem card.

This necklace is 18" in length.

Poem card #1:

Pawprints in my Heart
pet loss memorial poem

My lap is too too empty, and cold
the soft resting head no longer there to warm it.
No comfort to be found, no furry body to stroke
my quiet companion gone....

My heart is broken, there are no other words
to write it - this empty ache, this space
you filled, loving always, never judging...
My friend has left, and my hands, arms, all
helpless to stop it.

Little one, fly free, where the fields are green
and filled with friends gone before. I will
carry you always, your pawprints ever beating,
running joyously to greet me whenever I call
and memory stirs in my heart...

Poem card #2:

I will
carry you always, your pawprints ever beating,
running joyously to greet me whenever I call
and memory stirs in my heart...
